Red dots on skin
Red dots on the skin is a symptom in which a person has a rash of spots or bumps that are reddened. Redness is usually caused by increased blood (red colored) in the reddened area. Increased blood flow to skin spots can be due to allergies, infections, drug side effects, skin trauma, etc.
